Now, let me tell you about combining this product with the Gutter Cleaner... The sole reason I bought a Pressure Washer...

Everything went together as claimed. The action of the tool -- FLAT ON THE GROUND -- was smooth.

However, when I hoisted the pole into the vertical position, and positioned it above my gutter, and pulled the trigger EVERYTHING CHANGED!

I was completely unprepared for the reaction force of the jet (40 degree nozzle) which almost knocked me off my feet. I expected some force, and the large padded grip saved me from what would have been severe bruising of by face.

Allow me to compliment the manufacturer for producing a telescoping pole that took over three feet of bending along its 12 foot length without breaking!

I only have one good arm, and because of that I cannot control the tool. For me, this purchase must be classified as a total failure. I don't blame anyone, but I hope this review makes it to the manufacturer.

The only thing I would add is that I'm glad I didn't buy the 18' pole, otherwise I'd've certainly been knocked over and/or injured.

P.S. This review was delayed because I waited for most of the leaves to stop falling.

Does The Job. Hard To Control.

I can reach my second story gutters from a deck, but fully extended, this thing is very hard to control. Not the wand's fault. It's just physics. But a head that had a dual bend -- like a candy cane with a side twist would make this more usable.

I have to pull down on the hook to wedge the end on the gutter, otherwise if I pull the trigger the entire thing will end up on the ground. But that blast the gutter nearly straight down. The extra side twist would help blast the water parallel to the gutter. Wear goggles and old clothes. Keep the kids and pets away because it will rain debris.

Very Good Service

I purchased a General Pump EZ 4040 and a 12 Telescoping wand from you. It was my first order with your company and the service was great.

I have only one suggestion, you could add a printed copy of a pump installation in with new pumps and the warranty information.

I will do business with you again soon.
